India
has been growing into an industrial hub since the time of the British.
Factory workers around the country are exposed to various hazards and
risks. It is very disheartening to know that very less research has
been done to make the life of the factory workers safer. As the saying
goes "Danger never takes a vacation", safety is one issue that
cannot be compromised with. It is ironical to know that not many safety
devices and systems exist in the market.
About Us
In 1979, we designed a system to provide a roof worker for adequate protection.
Till 1980, in the Indian Industry, the roof workers worked without any protection system on top of the Asbestos
Cement (A.C.) sheet roofs. Stepping directly on these sheets has always
been a call of a fatal accident. The height from which the worker
falls and hits the ground are
some of the factors which make this category of accidents dangerous and highly fatal.
Various State
Governments, vide the Factory Rules, demand protection to roof workers
while on work. However, nothing was available to protect them
till 1980, in India. Factory Inspectorate appreciated this system. The
system received praise from Managements of the cross section of the
industries and Factory Directorates throughout the country. Different
bodies acknowledged this by bestowing several prestigious awards for
its design.
During marketing of
the above Safety System, we confronted the problem
of non-availability of adequate length of bolts due to corrosion of
bolts due to which clamping of the system failed. In 1987-88, we invented Patented "DRIPGRIP"
system, a process of polymer coating of the bolts and polymer
accessories in place of primitive and crude accessories used since
1936. This replacement received warm welcome in
the industries on coastline, chemical and other corrosion prone
industries.
With a definite
increased element of safety awareness in Indian Industry, on
introduction of ratings like ISO, etc., the industry, while working on
roof, would insist on tying of a net at the truss level under the roof
even when the working on floor below is in progress. These nets are
BULKY and quite CUMBERSOME. Tying them at the truss level is a time
consuming, laborious and nightmarish job. Because of the momentum of
the falling worker from a height, the net has to be strong enough to
hold them. The factor of gravity comes into play. This gave rise to
invent some system, with which work will speed up without compromising
on safety while working on rooftops. In 2005, we designed and started
manufacturing Fabricare KatNet System – a lightweight net to be fixed on top of roof and not below.
To overcome the menace of high level noise, we designed and manufactured "LoBel"
ear plugs. Our peg type ear plugs received overwhelming welcome in industries. Having
established ourselves in the Indian Industry across the country, we now
concentrate on export of our systems.
In 2002, CBI - an
agency working under the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of
Trade and Commerce, Govt. of The Netherlands, selected us for
EXPRO 40 in Oct. 2002, on passing through their tough scrutiny of
selection. This is a program to make industries capable of exporting
their Personal Protective Equipments to the European Union.
Now, the product "LoBel" ear plugs got coveted "CE"
marking and certification from BGIA, Sankt Augustin, Germany. It was
exhibited in Oct. 2005 in A+A 2005 – a fair of P.P.E. in Düsseldorf,
Germany. Now, the product is being exported to Europe and other
countries because of its outstanding merits over foam type ear plugs.
